466 THE KING’S BUSINESS paper. When prominent financiers thus express themselves about the need and usefulness of religious revival, it certainly is time that wé ministers and churches were waking up. “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things Undue Emphasis are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever on Sex Problems things are pure, whatsoever things are of good re- the Devil’s Snare port: if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Phil. 4 :8 . One of the most dangerous tendencies of the present day is the emphasis put upon sex. We have numberless books on sex written and advertised. We have sex novels and sex dramas and sex movies. We are attempting to have sex ual hygiene taught in schools, and these questions are constantly referred to in sermons. The net result is a frightful epidemic of immorality and sex ab normality and morbidness. The days when we heard little of these things were more wholesome and 'pure than these days when we are hearing alto gether too much. Pet the mother or father teach the daughter or son what they really ought to know and then drop the subject. Social Purity organiza tions and conventions have often done far more harm than good. One of the most notable religious documents of Back to recent origin will be found on page 512 of this Fundamentals magazine. It is a call “Back to Fundamentals,” signed by practically every prominent Presbyterian minister and hundreds of leading laymen of the Presbyterian Church, through out the United;States, headed by Dr. Maitland Alexander, moderator of the General Assembly, and Dr. Mark Matthews, the most recent ex-moderator of the same body. The call is short, occupying'a space of but a few hundred words, but fully covers the ground which has been so persistently covered in former issues of T he K ing ’ s B usiness ,' and which .will characterize all future issues. In the United States, Mexico, Canada, The Philip- Foreign pines, Hawaii, and all points in the Central American Subscriptions Postal Union, the subscription price of T he K ing ’ s B usiness is $1.00 per year. In England and all other foreign countries, the price is. $1.12 (4s 8d.) per year, postage paid. Our attention has been called to the fact, by some of our good friends in England, that many persons in foreign countries do not know the exact value of the United States coins, no more than many persons in this country know how to express values in English coin.
